Inspiration in writing and the different styles of writing come from many different shapes, forms, and techniques. For example, In the article, ‘6 ways to be a productive Hemingway-level badass,’ written by Drake Baer, shows how one of the greatest writers in the world, shows his techniques in his ability to write. From using standing desks only, writing his thoughts out first on paper, to getting up at 6 o’clock in the morning, every morning and devote his time purely to writing. In his own words, Hemingway states, “There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write.”
How can you create fiction when reality comes to call? An article that Carolyn Chute wrote about the struggles an author goes through writing a story, when she is trying to cope with living her everyday life. She shows the process of wanting, craving to write, but her family life, social life, and just life in general, things need to be done, and it’s hard going from one life to the other and having the time to sit down and actually get into the creative process of writing. Reading the article that Carolyn Chute wrote, showed me more of the distractions that comes along with trying to write as a college student. Setting aside time to do homework or just even attending school, doesn’t actually mean that’s what you will be doing in that time. We have a generation where it is hard to write a paper and have a tab open on an “untitled document” and not have a social media platform on another tab. Constantly, clicking back to every time you get bored or would rather watch a youtube video. Distractions come in many different ways as a college student. Social media distraction is a big one, but say you can control that. What about the things you can’t control? Such as work, kids, other obligations, stuff happens, things come up. Could I become a better writer? Of course! I always think there is room for improvement in everything a person can do. So I created a list of six things I can do to prepare myself to become a better writer for the future:
